TNAP-Images
Recently the Octagon SF8008 would crash during the build and return an out-of-space error, meaning the image was too big for the receiver. Ustym4kPro is about identical, and it was building without any issues? So what is the problem? A closer look showed TBS5925 being built for the SF8008, but not for the Ustym4kPro. At best the TBS item could only be a few MB in size. So two choices, either start scrutinizing and try to figure it out, or have a cup of coffee and watch Claude Code figure it out. I chose the latter.
To make a fairly lengthy ordeal short, Claude Code was setup in the root of the build, meaning he has access to all files and all folders of the build which contains about 1,186,276 items, totaling 95.6 GB in size. I do not say much to Claude Code, except to give warning that this is a working build directory, and do not break it. It was not necessary to supply the crash information, only the address to where the crash file was. After a bit of back and forth conversations, Claude Code decides the SF8008 has roughly 70MB of useless audio drivers that should be removed, and the build of the SF8008 will complete.
So the 70MB of audio drivers were removed, and the build completed. But the SF8008 would not run, which was sort of expected. During all of this Claude discovered a discrepancy in how the file size was calculated as compared to the Ustym4kPro. This is the beauty of giving Claude Code complete access to the build directory as he can go where he needs to, when he wants to. You have to really pay attention to what is happening though, else you will get a build directory that no longer works along with an apologizing Claude Code.
In the end, the discrepancy Claude Code discovered in the size calculation was the real problem, but here is the kicker: Claude Code insists those audio drivers are not really needed as they are provided in the SOC. However, the image will not run without them. It is a given that enigma2 images are stripped versions of Linux, and you do not waste space. But what if Claude Code is right and these drivers for audio are actually useless duplicates? This needs to be looked at as time permits, but I bet it ends up as a dead-end. Still though it is interesting.
I almost always ask for detailed summaries from the AI's when they do something as it really helps when you are trying to revisit an earlier problem. An out of space error turns into: "Hey, you have extra audio drivers in here"...LOL. Like I said, Interesting. The summary file for this is attached.
